The Mortgage Process for Buying a Home in Central Scottsdale

Starting the Mortgage Process Early is Beneficial for Buyers

The Mortgage Lending team at Arizona Bank & Trust highly recommends that all homebuyers (including Arizonafirst-time homebuyers, repeat homebuyers, second home/investment homebuyers, and out-of-state homebuyers) start the mortgage process early – even before beginning to shop for a home. Starting this process early helps buyers understand what they can comfortably afford, which mortgage programs they are likely to qualify for, their options for down payment amounts, and the optimal sales price range in which to shop. Starting the mortgage process early also helps with the early identification of any credit errors that may need to be corrected and establishes our clients as credible home buyers in the eyes of the seller.

From your initial consultation through the day you get the keys to your new home in Scottsdale, your Arizona Bank & Trust Private Mortgage Banker will be working diligently behind the scenes to clear any obstacles that may arise and ensure you have a pleasant experience and on-time closing. Proactive communication, responsiveness, and availability during and after hours further add to the high level of service that sets the Arizona Bank & Trust Mortgage Lending Team apart from other mortgage providers.
